Easy set-up for live online yoga
The set-up only needs to be done once, and takes a couple of minutes.
- Download the Zoom app on your phone, tablet or computer.
- Click the class time you want in Flametree’s class app, open a free account, and choose the online version of the class.
- We email you the link to join. About 10 minutes before the class, follow the link.
- Point your camera so the teacher can see you. You can turn your camera off, but the teacher can help you more, and more safely, if she can see what you are doing. Nobody else in the studio can see you clearly.
A bigger screen helps
If you are on a 4G connection, you can turn off your video to save data; the sound will still work.
Ideally, use a laptop, or connect your phone or computer to your TV, so you can see the teacher clearly.
Online yoga also works best with a few props: a mat, a belt, a chair and a folded blanket are enough to start.

Online yoga Australia: common questions
Is the first online yoga class free?
Yes, if you are new to Flametree. Your first online class is free wherever you live in Australia. Click the class time you want and we email you the link to join.
Who gets a free first class at Flametree?
Newcomers to Flametree. In the studio, that means people who have lived in the Northern Territory for three months or more. Online, it means anyone new to Flametree. Students returning after a break do not get a free class, but they can get the half price pass if they have been away three months or more.
What makes a good online yoga class?
A live teacher who can see you and correct your pose, clear step by step instructions, and poses adapted to your level with simple props. Flametree’s online classes are live Iyengar yoga classes, taught at the same time as the studio class in Darwin.
Can I keep my camera off in an online yoga class?
Yes. The teacher can still be seen and heard. But you get more from the class, and it is safer, if the teacher can see you, because she can then correct your pose. Only the teacher sees your video clearly.
Can I watch an online yoga class on my TV?
Yes. Many students connect a laptop or phone to their TV so they can see the teacher on a big screen. A laptop screen also works well; a phone screen is small but usable.
What internet connection do I need for online yoga?
A normal home internet connection is fine. On a mobile or 4G connection you can turn your video off to save data, and the sound will still work.
Can I do online yoga from Katherine or remote NT?
Yes. Online classes suit anyone in the Territory who is not near Woolner or Coolalinga, including Katherine, Alice Springs and remote communities. Classes run on Darwin time, so there is no time difference to work out.
Is there a free online class for non-beginners?
Yes. If you are new to Flametree, your first class is free at any level. After that, non-beginners can get 30 days of unlimited online classes for $29, or the half price 10 pass plus 2 free for $104.50.
